Welcome to the Eagle Ski Club

The Eagle Ski Club is the UK's largest and most active ski touring and ski mountaineering club, with over 1400 members. We all share a common interest and passion for ski touring and ski mountaineering and for getting out and exploring mountain ranges.

We organise over 65 ski touring trips each year, ranging from day tours and hut to hut tours in the Alps to ski expeditions further afield, and a further 12 meets in Scotland. We have a strong focus on developing ski touring skills and on leader development, with a range of awards aimed at supporting this.

We are keen to attract younger people to the Club and are offering reduced membership fee from 2020/21 onwards for those under 30 years.

Awards

We provide support to ski tourers through three award schemes: the Development Award is for younger adults; the Adventure Award is for expeditions and adventures to remote or little known locations; and the Member to Member Award is to help members to organise and run their own tours with other members.

As you will probably have noticed, the website has had a minor facelift - changing some of the colours e.g. hyperlinks are now in blue rather than red. We're also doing some work on the homepage. The operation of the website remains the same.

Club News: GoCardless direct debit update

We have now collected your direct debits through GoCardless. The payment appears differently depending on your bank - some show it just as GOCARDLESS, whilst others show it as GoCardless and Eagle Ski Club. If you bank online, you should be able to check payment details and this should show Eagle Ski Club. The Membership Secretary will be in touch with you if you have cancelled your DD mandate because of this. Or, you can email him directly:
